3147: This is the base turbo included in the kit. The turbo is perfect for those who want to have a 400hp car, but don't want to go overboard with supporting mods. Our base fuel kit and 750cc injectors without a return line will max this turbo out. You will see full boost around 3000-3100rpm in most conditions, and the turbo will support 450whp if you feel that you need to turn up the boost to 28. If you are on a tight budget, this base turbo will give you everything you need.

50 trim: Good all around turbo. Spools fast, and will make great power. This turbo is perfect for those wanting to run lower boost, and those who run only pump gas. If you plan to run nothing but pump gas, and want a good street turbo, then this is your turbo. Full boost should be right around 3100-3200rpms with a .63 A/R turbine housing. On our test cars, we've pulled over 420whp on pump gas at 23psi. The maximum boost is around 31-32psi where we have seen 500whp. If these numbers are big enough for you, then look no further and order a 50 trim. Its a $300 option because it is a custom built turbo, but well worth it.

57 Trim: The 57 trim is not a turbo we really recommend. Its basically a less efficient 50 trim. If you want something that spools faster than a 60, then get a 50 trim. If you want a bit more power, get a 60 trim. If you think you need a 57 trim because some other guy told you it was the best wheel out there, you can convince us to sell you one. (It would be the same price as the base kit.)

60 trim: Slightly larger than a 50 trim and will support another 10-25hp. The turbo is slightly laggier than the 50 trim so full boost is around 3200-3300. The turbo wiill make support a hair over 30psi and also a good street turbo. Below 20psi, at the same boost, a 50 trim will make more power, but at higher levels, the 60 trim has a slight edge.

60-1: Now were getting into the big turbos. A 60-1 will make upper 500whp, support well into the 30s, and be a nasty turbo. Full boost is around 3400-3500 in a .63 A/R turbine housing. This is a good in-between turbo. Not huge, but not small. Good blend of street and race.

GT40/T350 (stage 5) This is a big turbo. Mid to upper 600hp is possible. Full boost around 3600-3700. The stage 5 turbine wheel is needed on this turbo to get all the air out. Its not needed on the smaller turbos, and will just add unwanted lag to the smaller ones. The smaller ones operate at an acceptable backpressure ratio with a stage 3 . This big bad boy on the other hand, flows so much air, that a stage 5 wheel is needed. This is for someone wanting to run 10s. This combination can be used on a street car, but the additional lag is not that fun, then again, the additional power may bring a smile to your face. You can run well over 35psi on this turbo. Big injectors are needed; minimum 750cc.

well you can get a full (i mean full) kit from psi-fi for $3600. it's capable of 11's and 400+hp. the other kits out there you have to build yourself, so prices can vary.

as long as you do it properly then there's no reason that the motor can't last. the engine itself can handle the power, there are a few cars that have big turbo's that have 20k plus miles on the turbos. but if you just buy a manifold and turbo and throw it on the car with no supporting mods (like fuel delivery - this is very important and often not addressed) it's not going to last too long.

their 57 trim makes around 450 fwhp on average, cars seem to run in mid to high 11's. the 61 trim can put out over 500. track times are still coming in for that turbo as it's a few set up and more people get the 57 than the 61, so there aren't that many cars with it out just yet.
